The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 returns to Netflix Feb. 5 — Mickey Haller fights for freedom

Netflix's legal thriller The Lincoln Lawyer returns for Season 4 on February 5, continuing the story of defense attorney Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, after Season 3 ended on a nail‑biting cliffhanger. Season 3 left Mickey on the wrong side of the law and forced him to confront the consequences of past choices; Season 4 is described as a direct continuation with higher stakes as Mickey fights for his freedom.

According to Netflix, audiences can expect: "Signature twists, along with the unique blend of suspense, humor and heart our fans love, as every character must confront not only Mickey’s predicament but their own personal challenges along the way." Based on Michael Connelly's books, the sleek, noir-tinged series blends courtroom theatrics with street-level grit and leans on Manuel Garcia-Rulfo's charismatic portrayal of a lawyer who often works from the back seat of a chauffeur-driven Lincoln Navigator.

Adapted for long-form television after the 2011 film adaptation starring Matthew McConaughey, the show emphasizes propulsive pacing, character development, and a grittier realism than some other legal dramas — trading slick office politics for back‑alley tension and urgent plotting.
